hello david -

found your d200 manual focus problem in this german forum. i think i might have the same problem.
this happens to you only in manual focus mode?
would appreciate a short reply - thanks a lot! erol info@gurian.de www.gurian.de

I love "run from light" and I feel as if I'm looking through a calender. Maybe consider a swan calender "Swans in Motion" I think that would be awesome. I wish I had swans in my back yard. We have a lake, but we mostly have Herons. BUT....I should think about getting out there to photograph herons myself.

Photography is still the most credible solution for the problem of authenticity in art and in this case it also represents the end of mimetic representation.

Hi David,

Oh what a great great series. You did a very good job in panning them. I photographed swans (they are such beautiful and elegant creatures) during almost two years but mostly they didn't fly at the right moment so I could not pan often. I would love to see more of them David. You have my vote!

With kind regards,

Dirk

I love this gallery I have attempted similar shots with pelicans but came nowhere near
I will have to try again and again and again.

Félicitations pour cette merveilleuse galerie, c'est magique, on ne peut que tomer en admiration devant de telles photos.
David Hofmann 02-Mar-2005 22:42
thanks very much Judy. I would love to see your artwork. I have many many more swan photos. I have to upload some more. I'll send you an email tonight when I'm back home.

Hi David, I am a photographer and painter, and currently doing a series on Mute Swans (while listening to Tskychovky's music of Swan Lake). I live in Vancouver, B.C. and have taken many shots of the swans on Lost Lagoon (a lake) in Stanley Park, which is right downtown in the city.

I am home sick today, and was just browsing photos of swans on the internet. I came across your photographs of swans and am absolutely blown away. They are so beautiful!!!!! Thanks for sharing. If I can, I'll e-mail you a photo of one of my recent painting. I don't usually e-mail strangers, but, you are a great artist and wanted you to know the impact your work had on me this morning. Take care Judy
